| Abstract: | In this introductory article, I review the theory of nucleation by thermal activation and by quantum tunneling. The effect of heterogeneous nucleation at surfaces is discussed and a brief survey of experimental techniques is given. To cite this article: H.J. Maris, C. R. Physique 7 (2006). |
